BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE Field of the Invention

The invention relates generally to the field of injury-preventive gear,and more particularly, to athletic helmet-facemasks including attachingelements.

Background

In contact sports such as American football, injury is relatively commondue to the collisions and force of impact between players. Over 4million concussion and sports-related brain injuries occur each yearwith nearly 48,000 reported cases occurring in youth football leaguesand 250,000 in high school football programs. It is also estimated thatmore than 35,000 injuries go undiagnosed annually.

Concussions, in particular, happen to be one of the most severe hazardsfor football players. Concussions occur from physical trauma to thecranial region and can result in serious life-long disabilities. Due tothis danger, football helmets play a crucial role in player safety andconcussion prevention.

Football helmets and the facemasks attached thereto are designed toabsorb the impact energy generated from the collision with other playersthrough material elastic deformation. Such a design is simple, but doesnot effectively absorb the impact forces that are commonly experiencedby football helmets. Current facemasks do not transfer impact forcesexperienced by a player in an effective manner so as to maximize energyabsorption and minimize inertial forces because of the manner they areattached to the football helmet.

While certain aspects of conventional technologies have been discussedto facilitate disclosure of the invention, Applicant in no way disclaimsthese technical aspects, and it is contemplated that the claimedinvention may encompass one or more of the conventional technicalaspects discussed herein.
